Hate replying to my own messages, but...
It took me about 1 hour to go from scratch to a quake.exe from the
quake source.  Rather easy, one .S file has an error in it (dumb
error, easy to fix).  I compiled the quake source with djgpp 2.01.  It
works almost as fast as the retail version! (even though the source is
only 1.01 :(  Now it's time to go hack the code... I can't wait!!
